For 10 years we’ve been a trusted provider of apprenticeships to the nation’s biggest employers, offering industry-leading results in apprenticeships that range from construction and the trades, to sales, HR and management. With this experience we consider ourselves to be well placed to deliver HTQs that are most importantly aligned to industry and current job and skills gaps within the UK, something apprenticeships have always been. How do HTQs differ from apprenticeships:

Financing options – HTQs offer considerably more financing options than apprenticeships including student financing, all of these options will be showcased in the HTQ financing section below.
Unemployed? – Unlike apprenticeships, you can enrol onto an HTQ without being employed, providing you with the knowledge and CV boost for your career choice.
Plan for a future role – If you’re disillusioned with your current role and planning for a big career change, HTQs can be a great way to start developing your skillset early and gain a crucial advantage in a competitive job market.
Studying freedom – Our HTQs offer varying timeframes and study methods, allowing you to choose completely remote study, or classroom-based sessions at our training centre in Worcester – the choice is all yours!

This course is delivered online and will consist of ‘live’ tutor-led workshops and seminars along with learning materials which you will be guided through and able to complete at a convenient time. You will learn through research, independent study, directed study and workplace scenarios.

Plus, you’ll be supported by a friendly, committed, and qualified team of lecturers with professional and teaching experience.
